    For a good read, you might consider "Tinkerbelle" -- a 13'er that sailed
    across the Atlantic. I've only recently skimmed my copy (just last
    night) and recalled it as a good read from many years ago. Briefly, the
    end offers his supply list, upgrades he did -- oh, and construction of
    the cabin is shown too.

    This was a 'regular joe' without a Rockefeller bankroll who made his
    dream come true. In my edition there are a couple of sections of
    photographs. (Note to book buyers: not always, but often enough to be
    problematic, books when reissued as paperbacks lose the photographs.
    You'll find this true in Daniel Gallery's in particular so if you want
    pictures....)

    It's quite a good read about following your dreams whilst ON A BUDGET.

    The captain is now in prison for a triple murder.
